Doctors Experiments.

There are two ways of experiment.
ing with new remedies. The first is to
try them on yourself; the second and
more commonly employed method is to
give them to other people. The late
Sir Robert Christison, who was model
physician and eXperimenter, generally
began with himself. None of his old
students are likely to forget the gusto
with which he used to tell the story of
his personal experiment with Calibar
bean. This bean, as professional read
ers know, is most potent drug. Some
friend had sent Sir Robert a sample,
and he minded to try it on himself one
morning at the commencement of his
daily shave. He had not proceeded
far with his operation before he dis
covered that he had got more than he
had bargained for, and he became
overpoweringly and almost helplessly
i'll. He says: 81 Immediately swal-
lowed the shaving water "-the readi-
est emetic at hand. Medical aid was
sought, and after remaining in a crit
ical state for some hours he completely
recovered One might have supposed
that after such an experience neither
he nor any other physician would be
in haste to make further personal ex-
pertinent. But both he and many
other enthusiasts have repeatedly made
similar trials since the Calibar bean in
cident, only little more preliminary
care has perhaps been exercised. Some
venerable dog, which had nearly had
his day, has probably been privileged
to have the very first taste of the new
and possibly dangerous dose. When
the eXperimenter can with safety try a
remedy upon himself, there are obvi-
Gus advantages in doing so. One re-
suit is that his experience is obtained
at first hand-a matter of no inconsid-
cradle moment.-1he Hospital.

Baby Clothes.

The little dresses should be made
high in the neck and long in the sleeve,
and in number not less than half
dozen. Nainsook is better material
than jaconet, as it is not inclined to
turn yellow. There should be of fan
mel night wraps three and of muslin
three. OF flannel skirts and foot blank
cts and of knit zephyr shirts, three of
each will suffice. Let the flannel be
fine, soft, all wool, and washed before
it comes in contact with the sensitive
skin of the little one. New flannel
when worn next the skin often pro-
duces prickling sensation that is very
irritating. The object of long clothes
is to keep the baby's feet warm; skirts
half a yard long do this for a young
baby, and as it grows to need them
shoes and stockings may be worn in
stead of socks. When child's feet
are weighted down with long clothes
it cannot learn the use of them so soon
or so well as when they are free. Be-
sides, it is double the work to take care
of child in long clothes than of one
in short. There must be cloak and
hood or cap for baby to take its airings
in, and flannel shawls and little saques
and calico double wrappers for warmth
and covering when needed. For nap
kins canton flannel is the best material.
Make them square and hem at each end.
A basket neatly lined with cambria and
furnished with inside pockets, where
soap, towels, pincushion and all other
necessaries for the baby's toilet may be
placed, is Indispensable Tribune.

The Oldest of SOyereigns.

The ninetieth anniversary of a SOW
ereign's birthday is a unique event in
human history. The Emperor of Ger
many has been on the throne twenty
six years. This is reign of average
duration and has been exceeded many
times in the present century by other
sovereigns. 1t has been his fortune,
however, to remain on the throne at a
more advanced age than any other en-
peror or king of whom modern history
bears record. He was born March
81, 1897, the very day on which the
young Napoleon left Paris to take COM
mand of the army in Italy. He was
Graded in the camp of national adver-
sity, for he was a child when Jena
was fought and Prussia overthrown.
He learned the trade of war in the
school of arms established under sue
cessive European coalitions against
France. He served with the victori-
Gus army of 1914 which marched from
Leipsic to Paris, and he was in the
field, if not with Butcher, when Water
loo banished the crowned enemy of
Europe to st. Helena. There can be
found in Germany, England or France
barely corporal's guard of veterans of
the last of the Napoleonic campaigns;
but one of them lives and reigns, be-
loved by his people and honored by all
nations, the oldest of modern sover-
eigns. From Waterloo to King Will
JAMS coronation at Koenigsberg, in
1861, there was a transition period
of nearly half century, during
which Prussia remained feeble,
misgoverned state. overshadowed by
Austria. A soldier without congenial
occupation, prince of marked I'M
popularity, he came in old age to the
throne to take up almost at once the
sword of Frederick the Great, and by
striking down two rival states to make
Germany, under Prussian leadership, the
strongest power on the Continent. The
empire to-day is more powerful than it
was in the days of Charles the Fifth
He has rendered services to the father
land which have combined with many
homely virtues and sterling qualities to
command the confidence and love of
his subjects. He is honored throughout
Germany for his genuine patriotism.
The shortcomings of his domestic
policy are recognized as faults of the
head rather than of the heart Always
thorough soldier, he has been at the
head of his armies in every campaign !;
and if he has kept Germany in the saddle
and set a pernicious example in national
ornaments it has been because he has
believed that what had been won in the
battles of his reign must be protected
by standing armies for generations to
come. Since Sedan he has not made
the empire troublesome and meddle-
some on the Continent. 1t has been
an agency of pacific diplomacy

Oval VS.. Round Waists.

The more closely woman can get
her bust to approximate to the shape of
a peg-top the prouder and happier she
usually is. Why the peg-top has at
tanned to the high distinction of serving
as model for woman is one of the
many puzzles connected with dress.
The Greeks-who certainly knew some
thing about the human form-assigned
to their ideal waist dimensions quite
intolerable to an Englishwoman of to-
day. Moreover, they made it oval,
whereas the modern waist is round 1t
is physiological fact that there is
about an oval waist delightful supple
ness and elasticity, while the round
waist so common at the present day is
hard, rigid and unsympathetic. The
fact is that some women are blessed
with waists naturally small, and oval as
every natural waist is, while the other
women, less favored by nature, are de-
termined to Guido the smallness at no
matter what cost. But no discriminate
ing critic can ever fail to perceive the
difference between natural and artificial
smallness. Perhaps if this were better
understood women would cease to ruin
their health and weaken the muscles of
their backs by going about in a tight
nttlng culrass, even at the risk of ap-
pearing to depart conspicuously from
woman's ordinary dress. They would
then find that some other problems,
such as distribution of weight, would
settle themselves without much diff
culty.-London Times.

and Volcanoes in Hawaii.

We went from Honolulu to Hawaii
a sail of six hundred miles across the
channels dividing these islands-in
little interisland cockle-shell of a boat
that pitched and rolled and tumbled
fearfully, but carried us in safety to
Hilo, on the eastern coast of Hawaii.
Here we had the novel and startling
experience of two awful earthquakes,
the shocks being the severest known in
these much-shaken islands for great
number of years. They occurred in
the night, and were about five minutes
apart. Many people were pitched out
of their beds, and, for time, it seemed
as if everything was to be involved in
a common ruin. In connection with
these earthquakes there occurred
fresh outbreak of the great volcano of
Mauna Loa-the largest in the world
and we had the good fortune to see one
of the greatest volcanic displays of
modern times. Jets of blood-red lava
were thrown in vast volumes high into
the air, generally curved like dissolving
rainbows, and fell backward, scattering
their crimson showers over the sloping
side of the cone. Here the accumu-
lated, boiling mass parted into three
streams, varying in width from one
fourth to two-thirds of mile, which
came rolling down the side of the noun
tain, overwhelming and destroying
everything IN their path; and, after
course estimated at twenty miles, tumb-
ling over cliff thirty feet in height into
the sea. The velocity of these streams
of fire was thought to be not less than
ten miles an hour. We took a small
steamer and passed around to point
directly in front of the mountains,
where we remained some three hours,
about a mile off the shore, and wit
messed this grand manifestation of
earth's internal energy and power.
The night was clear, dark and still, and
the spectacle was indescribably grand
and awful. Where the streams of red
hot lava poured over the cliff into the
sea the commotion was fearful-three
rivers of fire contending with the ocean.
Great volumes of vapor were formed
The water boiled, and seethed and
roared, and became so heated far out
from shore that no one could not hold
his hand in it. No such grand outbreak
has occurred for years. Our being there
to witness it was purely accidental; and
we count it great good fortune to have
had an opportunity to behold so wonder
full and sublime a spectacle.-CorreS-
pOndent Of Cincinnati Gazette.

earth, and that was to exterminate all
kinds of thistles. For the entire half
century he never relented in his war
fare upon these enemies of the farmer.
From dawn to darkness he worked with
scythe, grub and hoe, cutting out aud
killing these enemies of the farmer.
No one could tell how he lived, he re-
fused to accept pay for his work, and
none of the farmers could impose upon
him, for he would not work unless he
could cut the thistles. In winter it
was noticed that he migrated with the
birds southwark, but back he would
come with the thistle again in the
spring. He had one other failing. He
imagined sometimes that he was
great general; at other times he thought
that he was an officer of the law, with
full power to make arrests. Years ago
some practical jokers sent him with or
ders to arrest the chief of police of Tiff
fin. BY pretense he succeeded in get
ting the chief of police to show him
into the interior of the Jail. He then
read an imaginary warrant and locked
the police captain up in a cell for a long
time. 1t was a more common practice
to induce him to arrest some country
swain who was counting his sweetheart.
Armed with his imaginary warrant, he
would force his way into the presence
of the loving couple, and in spite of
tears, protestations and entreates he
would make the arrest. He would
walk a dozen miles to arrest any man,
and more than once has he aided the
police and constables in discharging
their duties. One day Silas Barber
made his appearance at Columbus, car
rying an odd-looking bag He called
at the residence of Mr.. Rutherford b.
Hayes. who was the governor of the
state at that time. The servants re-
fused to allow him to see the governor,
thinking him crazy, but he watched the
door and when Governor Hayes came
out " Old Silas " presented his excel
lency with large black cat, saying:
Gas you have been kind to men so be
kind to the cat" Governor Hayes
kept the cat until after his election to
the presidency, when it died. Hayes
old friends and neighbors say that to
this black cat much of his good fortune
was due.-1Oledo Blade.

A GREAT MISTAKE

has heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced by the
failure on the part of thousands of sufferers
to find relief, even though they have ex-
hausted the skill of various physicians and
tried numerous so-caled remedies. To
such Athlophoros is offered as a safe, sure,
and quick cure. Its success has been phe-
nomenal, and yet 1t is not surprising be-
cause it wM do all that is claimed for it.
The Athlophoros Co. will gladly refer any
who desire to make an investigation TO re-
liable parties who have been cured by it.
Concord, n. H., March IS, 1886.
Ny father, who is eighty years old, has
for years been great sufferer with rheu-
matism, also neuralgia, in the stomach.
His case was a very severe one and worried
not only the family but the doctors as well,
who seemed utterly unable to do him any
good, as they resorted to the most power
full remedies. Ny father grew worse and
weaker daily, and, unknown to the doctor,
we got him to try Athlophoros. Very soon
there was an improvement, the pains al
most Immediately ceased, and there was no
longer any cause to keep the doctor in
ignorance of what he was using. We told
him it was Athlophoros that he was taking,
and the doctor told him to continue its
use, as it was what he wanted, and so it
proved, for he has never been troubled with
rheumatism since. J. w. LANE.
Hudson, Mass, May II, 1886.
This is to certify that have sold more
Athlophoros than all other so-called cures
for rheumatism combined. 1t gives uni
versal satisfaction to my many customers.
Have sold Athlophoros for three years.
w. L. WEST, Druggist.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., 1l2 Wall ST., New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is SLIGO per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in.
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases
of women, constipation, headache, impure
blood &C., Athlophoros pills are unequaled.

Training the Boys.

We all have our theories upon the
proper management of children, and
those of us who have the opportunity
TO exercise them are sometimes sur
prised that they do not work as we ex-
pect them to. The best children in the
world are said to be " old maids child
dren," and il is a well-known fact that
none are so free to advise and give
sound doctrine on the management of
the little folks as those who have never
had any to practice on. AS our practice
has to be all upon the boys, we have
few pet theories that we have not often
seen advocated, and we are quite ready
for an argument with any one who will
question our position in the matter.
We believe a boy will grow to be bet
ter man and husband if he is taught
that some little duties fall to his share
in keeping the home tidy. We call to
mind little boy of six or seven years
old who will put the furniture all to
one side of the room, take the carpet
sweeper, and brush up" the sitting
room as well as his mother can, and it
is often great help to her. A boys
clothes will last much longer if the habit
is formed of hanging them all up on
chair when he goes to bed. Generally
they are left in a heap on the floor or
cast to the four points of the compass.
A child that is very young can be
taught to hang up its clothes so that
they will be smooth and well-aired in
the morning, and he will think it fun
to do it. And in the morning, to hang
up the night-shirts, throw open the
bedclothes, and push the window up,
will not only help mother" very
much, but make the daily task of
Strengthening up the boys room " a
much easier one, and it will teach the
boys themselves to be better guests in
other homes and more tidy men when
they are in possession of homes of their
own. There are many things which
are neglected in the home education of
boys which should be taught to them
as to their sisters, and when sickness
comes, domestic upheavals in the
kitchen, or any unlooked-for emer-
gency, the boys strength, if aided by a
little skill, will help tide over the diff

"BLooD WILL TELL. Yes, the old
adage is right, but if the liver is dis
ordered and the blood becomes thereby
corrupted, the bad "blood will tell " in
diseases of the skin and throat, in
tumors and ulcers and in tubercles in
the lungs (irst stages of consumption),
even although the subject be descended
in straight line from Richard Ceur
de Lion, or the noblest Roman of them
all. For setting the liver in order no
other medicine in the world equals DIR.

A Hunter of Thistles.

Old Silas Barber is dead, and his last
words were: Don't let any thistles
grow upon my grave" For half CEN
fury he wandered through the state of
Ohio. His last days he spent in the
Seneca county poor-house, He had no
relatives in the world, and no one could
tell where he came from, although
there is local tradition that he came
from Canada, all alone in boat by
himself, more than fifty years ago. He
had but one mission, one object on
